Our Research project now has a name!

Our Research team wanted to emphasise that your suggestions were sent to the Press, Marketing and Research teams at the Society as well as to the scientific Steering Group who is running the project.

Your input was particularly helpful in understanding how the words "carers", "care" and "caring" could be used. Also, whilst initially our team were not planning to use the words "me" or "I", they realised from your suggestions that taking a personal approach such as this was popular and carried meaning for people.

Again, many thanks to everyone who took the time to submit their suggestions.
